Graphicle is a free, open-source program (Apache-2.0) that runs on your machine. It maps your repository into a graph of files, functions and calls, remembers your docs and your past Claude Code sessions, and hands Claude cited excerpts: the exact files and lines.
Here's why it matters, how to install it, what it does, and the catch.
Why Claude starts blank
Every new session, Claude has forgotten your project. It searches, opens files and re-learns how things connect, and you re-explain decisions you already made.
Graphicle keeps the map and the memory on your machine, with no account and no API key, and syncs the files you changed before each answer.
